STRESS SYMPTOMS
The constant body language correction response may be a reflection of stress and anxiety. This behavior may indicate that the person feels inner tension and is unconsciously taking action to relax their body. Especially in a dominant situation, the person may tend to engage in such habits more because touching the body or a nearby object is an activity that significantly reduces stress levels.

Example 2:
CONTROL OF THE GUN
The fact that the security guard who carried out the assassination checked his weapon frequently may be a clear expression of internal tension and stress. People under stress may unconsciously seek some kind of assurance that they are safe. Repetitive movements towards the control of the weapon may reflect that the security guard internally feels threatened and is trying to calm this feeling. This behavior is considered one of the body language indicators of stress and represents an important observation reflecting the internal emotional reactions of people during such extraordinary situations.

Example 2:
RELAXATION BEFORE THE ATTACK
Releasing the hands is an automatic reflex that is done to balance the feeling of being out of control. This behavior can be interpreted as a movement that a person makes unconsciously in order to provide inner relaxation and reduce tension. When adrenaline is secreted, the body automatically pumps blood to the legs, which is why the hands become cold and shake. In order to solve this situation, the assassin releases his hands and allows the blood to flow to the hands.
LAST
After all these stages, he prepares his position, his weapon and himself, and carries out the attack.
